I kept thinking, why bother doing this live? It’s a weird combination of cheesy hollywood writing and realistic, documentary-style camerawork. They just don’t mesh together in my opinion. Also a minor per peeve: as a Londoner, this movie does not at all feel like London. More like London viewed through the eyes of an American tourist, which makes sense I suppose! Just rubs me up the wrong way when there’s nothing British feeling about it and every supporting character seems like an over the top caricature. Having said that, Owen Wilson was great.

Lost In London

A fresh approach towards depicting a sort-of biography by performing live with a single camera shot in a single take which is amazing in its own bubble but it also comes with baggage too as the makers gets restrained on going different places where the story may take it. Fortunately, the writing is strong and keeps the audience engaged throughout the course of it where the main reason would be the "realistic" factor in here for one cannot make such stuff up. Piled up with its multiple characters and their sub-plots, the feature starts to slow down as there is very little time for the audience to breathe in, making it difficult to stay with it sometimes, even though of being around 100 minutes. Woody Harrelson in his directorial debut is creative and brilliant on execution. And on terms of performance too, he scores majestically with a good supporting cast that may not factor to that extent but still holds on to their own parts. It is intriguing enough to invest in it and also keeps it light and breezy but the stakes projected in here aren't conveying with the correct methodology. Lost In London is basically a hectic schedule of a celebrity that goes wrong in every step which may be entertaining but no one's wiser at the end of the frame as there's something non-cinematic about it that keeps it diplomatic and immoral more than a dramatic experience.… Expand
